Beauty routine: we say yes to natural products
At The Body Optimist, we're always trying to find new ways to consume more thoughtfully and sustainably, and that starts with what we buy. So when it comes time to put together our selections of skincare, makeup , or hair styling products, we prioritize natural and organic ingredients and, whenever possible, ethical manufacturing (vegan, for example) .
Because what we put on our skin is just as important as what we eat , our mission is to highlight brands, both large and small, that are transparent about the ingredients in their skincare products. Through our articles, you'll have the opportunity to make wonderful discoveries while staying informed about the latest trendy natural and organic ingredients ( CBD , coconut, aloe vera ). In addition to protecting our beautiful planet by avoiding toxic components, we prioritize recyclable packaging, a far cry from the plastic that is destroying our oceans and seas.
At the same time, this helps preserve our health and, in particular, prevent allergies and scarring for sensitive and atopic skin , sometimes affected by eczema or psoriasis , as well as for acne-prone and/or oily skin , prone to enlarged pores and blackheads. You will be able to understand which are the best treatments adapted to your needs and desires, for dehydrated hair as well as for an irritated scalp . The same applies to hydrating dry skin, nourishing brittle hair, or deeply repairing areas of the body damaged by pollution, cold, or heat. Mastering Homemade Recipes
In the same vein, we offer a multitude of DIY recipes to help you easily and quickly make your own skincare products with ingredients you already have on hand ( coffee grounds , apple cider vinegar, etc.). It's a way to participate in the zero-waste movement , by making your own toothpaste, for example , and thus avoiding the plastic of industrial products. It's also a way to reuse plenty of food, vegetables and fruits, from your cooking recipes in your creams, scrubs, and other skincare products. Nothing is lost, everything is transformed, as Antoine Lavoisier said!
Together, we'll discover the steps that will serve you throughout all seasons and become habits, then automatic steps in your beauty routine. And above all, we'll try to find effective remedies for life's little mishaps: dry or oily hair, peeling skin , scars, minor summer ailments , etc.
So, we'll guide you through your entire beauty routine to create the ritual that best suits you and makes you feel good. Separating fact from fiction on controversial beauty topics and deciphering today's and tomorrow's trends are also part of our daily mission. So, without further ado, grab your favorite bubble bath with homemade bath bombs and take some time for self-care . After all, we have our bodies to thank for so readily allowing us to try out recipes for chocolate, avocado , pumpkin , cucumber, and many other face masks . We deserve the very best!
